Testing for Spatial Autocorrelation in Stata

Abstract: This paper introduces the new Stata command moransi, which allows users to easily compute global and local Moran's I statistics in Stata. The fundamental feature of the moransi command is that the spatial weight matrix is constructed internally within a sequence of the program code. The additional information required in the dataset to implement this command are the latitude and longitude of regions. This paper presents two applied examples of the moransi command to deepen the understanding of global and local spatial autocorrelation.
